Travel style
Just like you, my travel style shifts with my mood and needs. One day, I'm craving hands-on immersion — learning to cook in Tuscany or practicing Spanish in Madrid. The next, it's adrenaline-pumping adventures like ziplining through rainforests or snorkeling vibrant reefs. And sometimes? It's simply the bliss of a tropical beach, a good book and a complete escape. That's why I understand that 'one-size-fits-all' vacations don't exist. Life demands variety, and so do our travel desires. Whether you're seeking cultural immersion, thrilling adventures or pure relaxation, I'll craft the perfect trip, tailored to your unique style and needs. Because a travel advisor who gets it makes all the difference.

Christina's reviews
Our Mexico City trip was amazing, all thanks to Christina Gales! She planned everything perfectly, making it super easy and unforgettable.
The best parts were the awesome adventures she set up. We had a blast on a boat in Xochimilco, and the hot air balloon ride over the Pyramids of Teotihuacan was totally epic – a real once-in-a-lifetime thing. Plus, we had a cool brunch in a cave.
Christina also gave us great tips for restaurants and shops, so we found some awesome hidden gems.
And the travel guide she made? Super helpful! It had everything from basic Spanish to food recommendations and tons of free stuff to do. We felt totally prepped to explore the city.
Basically, Christina Gales turned our trip into an incredible adventure. She's got a real knack for the details and knows how to create unique experiences. We can't recommend her enough!

Christina was wonderful! She went above and beyond to ensure our staycation for my husband's birthday was perfect. She was able to secure us a free upgrade to a large, one-bedroom suite with lots of other perks including free breakfast and $100 credit for us to spend at the very nice hotel bar! But best of all, she contacted the hotel before our stay and told them it was my husband's birthday. We were delighted to arrive to a bottle of champagne, delicious macarons and rich chocolates - there was even a birthday card from the hotel staff! Such an unexpected but lovely touch!
